In Dutch

Painter by the bridge:

Life strokes over old canvas,

Betraying old friends.

Free Speech

The Saudi raised hands

In victory as the flogs

Ripped his flesh apart.

 

Why does the spying

Of her sharing her heart’s pain

Knife her in that heart?

Betrayal

Underneath the smiles

Lies a heart blown by weather.

She thought you a friend.

Phone Call

Your little sister

Poured the words of pain to you

Hoping you would care.

Jealousy

Is it all because

At fifteen a reckless kiss –

Always imprisoned?

Further Conditions of Alzheimer’s

White mass on your brain

And you, brother, far away.

The pain sears my heart.

Blueberry Sunday

Soothes memories long ago

When pain took control.

Otherwise Unknown

Nightmares awaken her

And you comfort and hold her –

She blesses the pain.

Razor

Sharp words, painful prick

Hissing from previous good —

I am deflated.

Fear

Shoulders’ prickly heat;

Empty hand lies on the bed –

No strength to fight pain.
